The Blow Up Lab is a full-service, digital photo and graphics business located near downtown San Francisco but virtually available to anyone with Internet access. Owned and operated by Frank McGrath since 1977, the lab was the first in the city to convert from traditional, chemical photo processing to 100% digital in January 2000.

News
The Blow Up Lab is excited to announce the addition of
new large format printers from Canon. These new printers use an innovative 12 color ink system for superior results on your most demanding projects. After printing ink jet for more then 15 years we feel Canon's 12 color ink system gives a wider color gama than most older 8 ink systems commonly in use today. These state of the art printers not only allow us to offer super high quality fine art prints (up to 60 inch wide), but we can output at speeds two to five times faster then our old Epson 9800. These Canon printers are Energy Star certified as well.

Call for a VERY competitive quote on your large format printing needs.
